between the first and second or third 

and fourth anniversary of the 

publication of an AD order under 19 

CFR 351.211 or a determination under 

19 CFR 351.218(f)(4) to continue an 

order or suspended investigation (after 

sunset review), Commerce, if requested 

by a domestic interested party within 30 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation of the review, will 

determine whether ADs have been 

absorbed by an exporter or producer 

subject to the review if the subject 

merchandise is sold in the United States 

through an importer that is affiliated 

with such exporter or producer. The 

request must include the name(s) of the 

exporter or producer for which the 

inquiry is requested. 

Gap Period Liquidation 

For the first administrative review of 

any order, there will be no assessment 

of antidumping or countervailing duties 

on entries of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption during the relevant 

‘‘gap’’ period of the order (i.e., the 

period following the expiry of 

provisional measures and before 

definitive measures were put into 

place), if such a gap period is applicable 

to the POR. 

Administrative Protective Orders and 

Letters of Appearance 

Interested parties must submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective orders in 

accordance with the procedures 

outlined in Commerce’s regulations at 

19 CFR 351.305. Those procedures 

apply to administrative reviews 

included in this notice of initiation. 

Parties wishing to participate in any of 

these administrative reviews should 

ensure that they meet the requirements 

of these procedures (e.g., the filing of 

separate letters of appearance as 

discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)). 

Factual Information Requirements 

Commerce’s regulations identify five 

categories of factual information in 19 

CFR 351.102(b)(21), which are 

summarized as follows: (i) evidence 

submitted in response to questionnaires; 

(ii) evidence submitted in support of 

allegations; (iii) publicly available 

information to value factors under 19 

CFR 351.408(c) or to measure the 

adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR 

351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed on 

the record by Commerce; and (v) 

evidence other than factual information 

described in (i)–(iv). These regulations 

require any party, when submitting 

factual information, to specify under 

which subsection of 19 CFR 

351.102(b)(21) the information is being 

submitted and, if the information is 

submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct 

factual information already on the 

record, to provide an explanation 

identifying the information already on 

the record that the factual information 

seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The 

regulations, at 19 CFR 351.301, also 

provide specific time limits for such 

factual submissions based on the type of 

factual information being submitted. 

Please review the Final Rule,9 available 

at https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/ 

FR-2013-07-17/pdf/2013-17045.pdf, 

prior to submitting factual information 

in this segment. Note that Commerce 

has amended certain of its requirements 

pertaining to the service of documents 

in 19 CFR 351.303(f).10

Any party submitting factual 

information in an AD or CVD 

proceeding must certify to the accuracy 

and completeness of that information 

using the formats provided at the end of 

the Final Rule.11 Commerce intends to 

reject factual submissions in any 

proceeding segments if the submitting 

party does not comply with applicable 

certification requirements. 

Extension of Time Limits Regulation 

Parties may request an extension of 

time limits before a time limit 

established under Part 351 expires, or as 

otherwise specified by Commerce.12 In 

general, an extension request will be 

considered untimely if it is filed after 

the time limit established under Part 

351 expires. For submissions which are 

due from multiple parties 

simultaneously, an extension request 

will be considered untimely if it is filed 

after 10:00 a.m. on the due date. 

Examples include, but are not limited 

to: (1) case and rebuttal briefs, filed 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; (2) factual 

information to value factors under 19 

CFR 351.408(c), or to measure the 

adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR 

351.511(a)(2), filed pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal, clarification 

and correction filed pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) comments 

concerning the selection of a surrogate 

country and surrogate values and 

rebuttal; (4) comments concerning CBP 

data; and (5) Q&V questionnaires. Under 

certain circumstances, Commerce may 

elect to specify a different time limit by 

which extension requests will be 

considered untimely for submissions 

which are due from multiple parties 

simultaneously. In such a case, 

Commerce will inform parties in the 

letter or memorandum setting forth the 

deadline (including a specified time) by 

which extension requests must be filed 

to be considered timely. This policy also 

requires that an extension request must 

be made in a separate, stand-alone 

submission, and clarifies the 

circumstances under which Commerce 

will grant untimely-filed requests for the 

extension of time limits. Please review 

the Final Rule, available at https://

submitting factual information in these 

segments. 

These initiations and this notice are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 24, 2023, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

initiated countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigations of imports of aluminum 

extrusions from China, Indonesia, 

Mexico, and Turkey.1 Currently, the 

preliminary determinations are due no 

later than December 28, 2023. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations 

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in a CVD investigation 

within 65 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation. 

However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act 

permits Commerce to postpone the 

preliminary determination until no later 

than 130 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation if: 

(A) the petitioner makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) 

Commerce concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, and that additional time is 

necessary to make a preliminary 

determination. Under 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a 

request for postponement 25 days or 

more before the scheduled date of the 

preliminary determination and must 

state the reasons for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On November 29, 2023, the 

petitioners 2 submitted a timely request 

that Commerce postpone the 

preliminary determinations in these 

investigations.3 The petitioners state 

that it is necessary to extend the 

deadline for the preliminary 

determinations to collect the necessary 

information for determining the most 

accurate possible CVD subsidy rates, 

because the full questionnaire responses 

are not due until a few days before and 

after the current preliminary 

determinations deadline, which gives 

Commerce little or no time to review 

responses from respondents, issue 

supplemental questionnaires, or 

consider deficiency comments before 

reaching a preliminary determination.4

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioners have stated 

the reasons for requesting a 

postponement of the preliminary 

determinations, and Commerce finds no 

compelling reason to deny the request. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is 

postponing the deadline for the 

preliminary determinations to no later 

than 130 days after the date on which 

these investigations were initiated, i.e., 

March 4, 2024.5 Pursuant to section 

705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final 

determinations of these investigations 

will continue to be 75 days after the 

date of the preliminary determinations. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
